Looking for Robert Goddard

It was his flight to fancy that laid the foundation for the first
flight into space. Robert Hutchings Goddard, the Father of Modern
Rocketry, was an American expert of rocket research who is recognized
as a remarkable experimenter as well as an engineering genius.
We have seen Dennise Tito along with Russians in space.

We have seen the landing on the moon " a small step, a giant leap for
mankind", to quote Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on moon. We
have had Alan Sheppard, Valentina Treschkova, and of course Yuri
Gagarin in space.

Guess what would have happened to all the above greats were it not for
the rocket that propelled them into space?

Very nice site!

Goddard was also Jewish (his father was orthodox and named after a 7th
Centry B.C. Jewish prophet who portented the fall of Nineveh). Goddard
was also partially funded by Charles Lindberg who relayed Goddard's
research to the German army and rocket scientists.
